Personally, I saw Cintron outboxing Williams handily. I do not like the way he fights. I think he fights like a pansy, and he has very little skill. But stylistically, he was a nightmare for Williams. Williams, a man who doesn't use his reach very well (see Tommy Hearns) was getting beat to the punch consistently.

In round4 when they started, MAYBE I could give that 1:00 or so round to Williams. He came out on a mission to put the pressure on Cintron. Granted, I think Williams was going overwhelm Cintron in rounds to come.

Does anybody realize that the scoring was:
40-36 Williams
40-36 Cintron
39-37 Williams

I am not sure what the judges were looking at. Thoughts?

Man, (from what I remember), it was an extremely competitive fight, one in which Cintron surprizingly had an answer for everything Williams was doing, (if memory serves me, Cintron kept nailing Williams with a counter left every time he came in), and I gave the edge to Cintron.

The judges were enamored with Williams aggression, though he was slower starting than normal, and again, was halted by effective counters by Cintron.

The other thing is, the HBO guys sucked Williams dick from the opening bell till Cintron was carried out on a stretcher.

I has Williams ahead, thought he just looked better and I think he would have gone on to win.

How do you fall out of the ring...seriously

It was a really slow fight and yeah Cintron had edged 2 of the first 3 rounds (it's ridiculous to score the 4th California), but NO WAY he should have won that fight. Sorry but the convulsions on the ground was to much, if Williams, Cotto or anyone else had fallen out of the ring they would have NEVER let the fight finish like that. Look at Yuri Foreman hobbling around on one leg and then compare that to Cintron hyperventilating on the ring apron floor and compare those two pictures. Ridiculous, how can a guy who let the fight be stopped when it shouldn't have be completely robbed? California's rule is dumb anyways it should have been a no contest and NO winner.

Also if you discount the Margarito losses you still have the travesty that was the Martinez fight. Honestly how could Cintron be robbed though? If that was Williams' second loss that would have been TERRIBLE, because no fighter really won that fight not even close but one probably did come close to just giving up.

I had Cintron up 3-0. He was landing the cleaner punches and Williams couldn't get anything going. It was like he didn't warm up before getting out there.

Round 4 looked like the fight was going to get really interesting. Williams started to press Cintron but even then, Cintron landed the bigger shots.

Cintron dove out, he didnt even try and grab the ropes, just dove out. I wouldnt doubt it if he thought he was ahead and was going for the easy win. He even said he wasnt hurt afterwards, but was on the ground a mighty long time. I dont even think it will be close if they rematch Williams will break him down for sure. He literally dove through the ropes....if it was legit, the guy has horrible balance.
